Efficacy of different commercially available weedicides on wheat Triticum aestivum in Rawalpindi Pakistan
Abstract
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a major food cropand it is considered as main staple food in Pakistan. This crop is cultivated in both irrigated and rain fed areas of Punjab, Pakistan. The present study was conducted to compare the efficacy of four different commercial available weedicides included Starane –M, Clean wave, Clean field and Buctril Super against broad leaf weeds in relation to grain yield in wheat crop. Study was conducted in farmer fields in Rawalpindi, Punjab during 2013-14.Buctril super was observed with significant results both in weeds population and wheat yield. This present study will be helpful to understand the control measure of weeds problems of wheat crop in this area.
